"It might straighten a bit of the Bugatti people to do it properly" Ivan - in modern youth parlance, I believe that is known as a "Sick Burn"

Great to see a old school mechanical engineer at play who lives and breathes it .Reminds me of a old boy my father had living on the farm as his pet mechanical engineer for free .we converted a old grain silo in to a house and garage for him and had 1 acre of land and was virtually self sufficient .He allways got us going when we invariably bent and broke things on the harvest.He carried all his tools in a side car on his AJS motorbike .Poor old boy had shell shock from the war and would occasionally have a funny turn.Today we would call it PTSD.

Back in 1971 a friend of mine, a street rod builder removed the center four cylinders from a small block 327 Chevy V8 making it a 163 cubic inch V4. I was installed in a narrowed and shortened Model T Bucket. Even the wheels were downsized. It was shown at the 1971 Oakland Roadster Show winning a 1st. Prize 🏆.

Fantastic result. Bit concerned at the stuck oil pressure ? In making the crankshaft were the oil drillings maintained to all the journals and crankpins ? If you put on a heavy gauge steel stackpipe and a big silencer plus an air cleaner it would make it all so much quieter and the engine would sound so much smoother and refined - maybe a polished copper stackpipe , plus a flexible to go out of the window . But a totally brilliant piece of work it all also looks magnificent now . This is a really significant piece in the BMC story of the 1950s as such it really ought to go on display in Gaydon with the history of the British motor industry . Much more please .

Another really enjoyable video, I'm a little younger than you, not much, but I wish I had your enthusiasm still. I've been in engineering most of my working life, not cars though. In my youth I worked with an old chap (very likely younger than I am now) who served his apprenticeship with Alfa Romeo. He was the most practical and knowledgeable bloke I've ever worked with. He was never put off taking on a job, even if the machines we had were worn out or seemingly not the right one. My approach to cars was much the same, there's always a way.

You could stitch some tube and spare parts together to make a sort of British micro car. I quite like the idea of building a tiny little lightweight car around this odd engine. Something like the truly tiny two seat convertibles sold in the 1950s and early 1960s. Anyhow congratulations on your efforts to get this unique motor running. This has been fascinating and a really enjoyable adventure.

The engine note reminds me of a 2 cylinder Dorman engine in a small petrol locomotive. 1939 made but pre-WW1 design with fixed cylinder head. Despite no flexible engine mountings it did not vibrate unduly so am not surprised about your results with something much more modern. Great job by you. Looking forward to seeing the Salmsons again and intrigued by the Lancia.

You guys are amazing. I enjoyed every second of this series. I couldn't wait for the next instalment. Making a Two Cylinder Crankshaft from a Four Cylinder Mini Crank. A new Camshaft. Amazing stuff. Your craftsmanship is absolutely amazing. A lot of that is lost today with the new technology that has come along. The motor sounds fantastic. I dare say the motor is better than the original prototype. However the you must do the ultimate test and put it into some kind of vehicle. Your all Brilliant. Look forward to more.
